Piaggio MP3

Been checking out bikes since two weeks back when nick and I passed our 2B. Whoo Hoo! Well, the lucky dude is already riding his phatom around while I'm still sourcing to find myself something comfortable yet safe. So, found the Piaggio MP3 over the internet and went to test rode this baby yesterday.

Other than the massive weight (200kg excluding rider) that I believe takes getting used to, this baby's performance is beauty! The extra wheel provides increased stability and road grip hence turning even at sharp corners feels awesome and graceful, leaving you looking forward to every turn ahead of you (seriously). Power, hmm... can't expect much since it's only a 125cc. Surprising eh.

Well what can I say, the 3 wheeler may look abit screwed, but no doubt is it an awesome bike to ride, so... haha, still thinking about it lah. Comments are most welcomed! Chill.

Change of lifestyle

Three weeks into attachment and the remaining four has called for a drastic change in lifestyle. I'm not left with much personal time now considering office hours are from 8-6 each day and there's taewondo training on Monday and Thursday nights, RCIA on Wednesday nights, driving lessons on Friday nights, while Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings are packed with church activites. So when I'm home, computers and/or any form of work are a NO-NO. But instead, its just me, the bed, the TV, and as much as I try, the rosary.

In the admist of the busy schedule, I've come to realise the importance of spending time with my family. Dinners are often the only time we get to talk and catch up on each other's happenings as a famiy, hence stuck in my organizer now, are at least three family dinners a week. :)

I guess overall I'm doing fine here. Other than finding time for the gym, work here has been interesting and everyday's a whole new learning experience. Been trying out the many katong laksas here of which everyone of them claim to be the famous original one. Ah hah! But Ive found the original one. It's located at the basement food court of Roxy Square if you're adventurous enough to search for it. The environment and the architecture (mostly low lying shophouses) here are somewhat different from that of the West. Have yet to explore around much but looking forward in doing it soon. Also, Church of the Holy Family is just the around the corner, so thank God for that!

Learning Points

Somethings you get to learn at the office...

• If you're not asleep by 1am, you're in for a moody and grumpy day ahead
• Never leave the house without breakfast
• When the boss is not around, there's when you should make best use of the time
• Lunch time and bunking out of the office are the only main sources of motivation
• Bringing packed food can save you as much as $10 a day
• When its lunch time, be fair to your brain and get out of the office
• Fruits and vegetables are important in your daily diet
• Monday blues really mean Monday BLUES and;
• Fridays are seriously to thank God for
